Issue with HTML-HEAD Plug and IE6, IE7

[iskru]

I'm using the square template.

I placed a "pagepeel" ad written in javasript in the head via the HTML-Head Plugin. (The pagepeel is provided by an advertizer assuring me

Whilest i have no issues in Firefox and Opera, there are problems with IE6 and IE7.


IE7 don't shows the pagepeel. And in generally needs more time to laod the page than other brwesers (even without the pagepeel in the HEAD-Section)

IE6 teares the tempalte apart, as it moves the square logo graphics way down to the middle of the page ...

Any ideas what could be the reason for this behaviour or how to solve it for IE6 and IE7?

Oh, ick. Most likely the Javascript just isn't compatible with IE. It's probably making assumptions about the structure of the page, and the assumptions are incorrect for Square.

Well, as the advertizers tell me that i'm the only one having this problem, i guess it must have something to do with eiterh the square template or the qay the nugget is placesd in the head or both ...

If you give us a link to the page, or maybe the script, perhaps the designer of the Square template can figure out where the conflict resides.

Thanks for the help offered.

I removed the script of cause already from my site preiswertgesund.de

It happens with different scripts from different advertizers, so here are just 2 examples:

Code: Select all

<script src='http://james.adbutler.de/view.php?pid=9730&tid=149721&bid=69618&b=500&h=500&pop=in&inv=js' type='text/javascript'></script>

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN PARTNER PROGRAM - DO NOT CHANGE THE PARAMETERS OF THE HYPERLINK -->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://banners.webmasterplan.com/view.asp?ref=388588&site=3446&type=html&hnb=2&js=1"></script>
<noscript><a href="http://partners.webmasterplan.com/click.asp?ref=388588&site=3446&type=b1&bnb=1" target="_blank">
<img src="http://banners.webmasterplan.com/view.asp?ref=388588&site=3446&b=1" border="0"/></a><br></noscript>
<!-- END PARTNER PROGRAM -->

Opera and Firefox show the pagepeels.
IE6 tears the layout apart (moving the square grafic down to the middle of the site)
IE7 doesn't show the pagepeel and doesn't damage the page layout.
(but takes lsignificantly onger than like for instance firefox to load the page)

Any ideas how to handle / fix this IE issues?

I know, going without the pagepeel would be the easiest solution ...
But i'd like to know where'S this different behaviour of the site has it'S origin ...

To me it's pretty odd that it is depending on the visitors browser how the visitor sees my site (if he sees it at all ...)

So would I. Both those scripts (when you get past all the obsfucation) are the same script, something called jaaspeel. It looks for objects with IDs of jcornerSmall and jcornerBig, which it writes directly into the document. I'd like to see a page using the script, so I can check the debugging console of the browser, and look at the source of the page. Unfortunately, I don't see any problem from just the script, so this is about as far as I can go without a page to debug.

We all feel the same way. Unfortunately, especially when it comes to advanced CSS and JavaScript, FF and IE browsers often react differently. Making a site look identical in many different browsers is an incredibly difficult task.
